Atypical Auditory Development and Effects of Experience

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 42))

Abstract

Early onset of hearing loss results in atypical auditory development, compromising the child’s ability to acquire spoken language. Children must be able to attend selectively to speech to extract information about the organization of sound pattern information in the speech signal. It is for this reason that the appropriate selection of an auditory sensory device as early as possible is essential to the development of auditory skills in the child with hearing loss. This chapter highlights the prominent research findings related to pediatric hearing loss from a developmental perspective Attention is given to degree of hearing loss, age at identification, and communication mode/intervention with emphasis on speech perception and production. Auditory experience after sensory device activation affords researchers the opportunity to explore the effects of auditory deprivation and the time course of maturation through use of behavioral and electrophysiological measures. The most compelling evidence comes from research on auditory evoked potentials, showing the critical role that early auditory stimulation plays in promoting maturation of central auditory pathways and pinpointing a critical period when the auditory system is most plastic.
